The organization seeks to empower, engage and enrich African-American and minority youth in Georgia with hopes of fostering tomorrow’s aerospace professionals. The vision is to provide personal development classes, ground school education, direct mentorship, and career preparation for youth who desire career paths in aviation. The impact that programs like this have on kids are life changing. Several attendees left saying they wanted to become pilots! The ability to expose the youth to new opportunities, and things can inspire the next generation of leaders and Omar is at the forefront of that movement! The launch party not only exposed them to the many opportunities within the aviation industry but also the diversity of the industry. There were several female, minority pilots there teaching and leading the way. The Brock Foundation Inc. is helping reshape and elevate the aviation industry one child at a time.
